Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for avoiding or reducing parallax during digitally transmitted, at least visual communication using at least two imaging devices, which is intended for temporary, permanent and/or fixed installation in front of at least one image recording device.
- the invention relates to a device for mounting in front of an image-recording device, e.g. a webcam, in order to enable direct eye contact of the participants in a digitally transmitted (audio)visual communication.
- the device according to the invention comprises at least one light-conducting element, which comprises at least one tubular, rod-shaped and/or hose-shaped base body, which has an interior space and at least two light passages arranged at opposite ends of the base body, with a the first light passage is arranged or mountable in front of an input of the image-recording device that receives light rays and wherein at least the position of the second light passage is set and/or adjustable in such a way that the second light passage is at least approximately (i.e. with a deviation in an angle of maximum 1° to 5 °, preferably a maximum of 2° to 4°) is arranged in the line of sight of a user.
- the device according to the invention is designed in such a way that the second light passage for the light beams incident into the device is and/or can be positioned and/or arranged such that the second light passage is between the user and the images on the imaging device or its projection surface/ -space represented eyes of the other participant of an (audio) visual communication is located (avoidance of a parallax).
- the light beams are deflected or reflected inside the device and/or the base body and optionally bundled or scattered in such a way that the incident light beams leave the device again directly in front of the lens or input of the image-recording device.
- the problem of parallax is primarily solved by using a light-conducting element that is positioned or arranged and / or can be that the visual axis of the user, ie the means of the image-recording device to be recorded participant, the eyes of the imaged by the imaging device other participants meets at least approximately, so that the users perceive practically no parallax or no misangle.
- Technical progress in camera technology also makes it possible to keep the dimensions of the device so small in general that it only disturbs the viewer to an acceptable extent, so that the light passage for the incident light rays can be positioned in the direct line of sight of the participant to be recorded (Audiovisual communication becomes possible without the eyes of the other participant pictured being covered.
- the device according to the invention is completely closed, which prevents dust or dirt on the inside of the device according to the invention.
- the device also comprises at least one optical element that reflects and/or deflects light rays and is arranged in or on the base body.
- the optical element that reflects and/or deflects light rays can comprise a mirror or a prism, for example.
- at least one prism for deflecting the light beams by reflection on one or more prism surfaces can be arranged on or in the second light passage of the base body (eg total reflection or directed reflection on metal-coated surfaces of the prism).
- the base body comprises at least one solid or filled rod or tube, which comprises at least one light-transmitting material, the light beam(s) having reflecting and/or deflecting optical(s) Element (s) attached to the outer surface of the body / are.
- the light-transmitting material can comprise a transparent thermoplastic such as polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA, acrylic glass).
- the base body comprises a multiplicity of light-conducting fibers, with the fibers being arranged in exactly the same way on the light passages.
- the light-guiding fibers are preferably glass fibers.
- the base body can include a flexible bundle of several thousand very thin glass fibers.
- At least one optical element bundling light rays and/or at least one optical element scattering light rays is/are additionally arranged in or on the base body.
- the deflected light beams can thus be bundled and scattered in such a way that the second light passage for the incident light beams has a smaller diameter than the first light passage on the side where the image-recording device is located.
- the optical element that bundles and/or scatters light rays can comprise an optical lens, for example.
- it comprises at least one adjustment device for adjusting the position of the second light passage.
- This can be, for example, joints, flexible sections or telescopic devices.
- the base body can also be flexible.
- the device comprises at least one joint for pivoting the light-guiding element.
- the device according to the invention can be designed so small, light and flexible that it can be simply pivoted or folded down via a suitable folding mechanism (joint), for example at the beginning of an (audio)visual communication, and can simply be folded away again after the communication has ended.
- this additional means enables the light-conducting element, in particular the second light passage, to be pivoted laterally for precise alignment with the eyes of the other participant. This would only be possible to a limited extent with devices based on the principle of a teleprompter, if only because of their size.
- At least part of the base body and/or the second light passage is/are arranged in front of the imaging device and at a distance from it. Due to the distance to the imaging device or its projection surface/space, a different part of the image is covered by the device according to the invention for each eye of the user or observer of the imaging device or its projection surface/space. The user's brain is thus able to combine both perspectives of the eyes in such a way that the impression arises that nothing is really covered by the device on the imaging device or its projection surface/room (see Figure 3).
- the distance between a head-up display and the windshield behind it is often too small, or the distance between a screen on which an image is projected and the wall behind it is too small to be able to install a camera directly.
- a device according to the invention it is possible to position the first light passage of the device at a point where an image-recording device can be installed.
- the base body and/or the second light passage can be arranged inside the imaging device.
- imaging devices e.g. monitors or smartphones
- Inserting a simple opening or hole in the display and installing an image-recording device directly behind it would inevitably lead to the housing no longer being as flat as actually desired.
- the device according to the invention makes it possible to position the second light passage of the device behind or in the opening/hole of an imaging device (e.g. display) and to position the first light passage of the device at a point in the housing where an image-recording device can be installed , so that the housing is not or only slightly thicker. It is also conceivable that the first light passage of the device breaks through the housing at any point and this makes it possible to mount an image recording device on the outside of the housing at this point.
- At least part of the device according to the invention can, for example, also be arranged or fastened behind an imaging device (monitor) or its housing.
- the base body and/or the second light passage is/are arranged inside the projection space of a 3D device that generates a three-dimensional image (e.g. a hologram).
- the second light passage of the device could be positioned directly behind the eyes of a holographically generated representation of a head and so would not obstruct or interfere with the representation.
- At least a part of the device according to the invention can, for example, also be arranged or fastened in front of or behind the projection space.
- the invention also includes an arrangement of two or more devices according to the invention, in which the devices are arranged in such a way that a three-dimensional and/or stereoscopic image can be generated from the combination of the transmitted images. Since the respective positions of the second light passages of the respective devices in space are known, three-dimensional models can be calculated (e.g. using mathematical methods such as triangulation), which can then be used in a device that is able to generate a three-dimensional image. It is also conceivable to position the respective second light passages of the devices in such a way that they correspond to the natural distance between a person's eyes. If the two perspectives are shown again in a stereoscopic 3D head-mounted display, for example, the viewer gets a three-dimensional, spatial impression.
- the positions of the second light passages of the devices can be dynamically repositioned, eg analogously to the sensor data of a head-mounted display, so that the viewer gets the impression that he can look around the room.
- the device according to the invention can be used, for example, in the interior of a vehicle, since the device according to the invention can be designed to be small, light and flexible.
- the device according to the invention could be used in combination with, for example, a head-up display to also enable parallax-free (audio)visual communication in a vehicle.
- FIG. 1 shows a side view of the structure and arrangement of an exemplary embodiment of a device according to the invention
- FIG. 2 shows the arrangement of a device according to the invention from the perspective of the user or participant of an (audio)visual communication to be recorded;
- FIG. 4 shows a side view of the structure and arrangement of a further exemplary embodiment of a device according to the invention.
- a preferably fully reflecting optical element 5 which is inclined at an angle of about 45° from the participant to be recorded, towards a further preferably fully reflecting optical element 5, which is located above .
- the path of the light beams in the The interior of the device 1 is represented here by the beam path 6 .
- the optical elements 4 built into the interior of the light-guiding element 19 of the device 1 for bundling or scattering light rays serve to optically shorten the beam path 6 to such an extent that the interior of the device 1 is no longer visible when you look through one of the two light passages 10 , 11 of the light-guiding element 19 would look into the device 1.
- FIG. 2 shows the arrangement of a device 1 according to the invention from the perspective of a participant or user of a digitally transmitted (audio)visual communication to be recorded. It is easy to see here that the second light passage 10 of the device 1 according to the invention is located exactly between the eyes of the participant to be displayed in a digitally transmitted (audio)visual communication. So right on the horizontal plane 13 for direct eye contact, completely avoiding parallax.
- FIG. 3 shows the arrangement of a device 1 according to the invention in a plan view from above.
- This example shows which areas are partially or completely covered by a device 1 according to the invention for the participant to be recorded.
- the umbra area is covered by the device 1 for both eyes 14, 15 and cannot be seen. Since in If there is usually only air in this area, this should not be regarded as a problem.
- the penumbral area of the right eye is the area shown here as 16. Due to the device 1 , this area 16 cannot be seen by the right eye 14 , but can be seen by the left eye 15 . In the area shown here as 17, it is correspondingly reversed.
- the areas 16 and 17 are therefore each visible to one eye and enable the brain of the participant to be recorded to reconstruct a complete image of the imaging device 9 . As a result, the device 1 disappears almost completely from the field of vision of the participant to be recorded and almost no longer bothers him.
- FIG. 4 shows the structure and the arrangement of a further device 20 according to the invention.
- the device 20 essentially corresponds to the device 1 according to FIG.
- the individual components of the device 20 are therefore marked with the same reference numbers as the corresponding components of the device 1 according to FIG 1, consists of a solid, rod-shaped base body, at the opposite ends of which light passages 10, 11 are also located.
- the base body of the light-conducting element 19 consists of a light-transmitting material, for example a transparent thermoplastic such as polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA, acrylic glass).
- Optical elements 5 reflecting and/or redirecting light beams are attached to the outer surface of the base body at its opposite ends.
- the optical elements 5 reflecting and/or deflecting the light beams can each be surfaces that are not located in the interior of the base body, but applied to the outside of the surface of the base body, eg vapor-deposited (eg mirror paint).
- the remaining surface of the base body can remain transparent or be provided with an opaque coating (eg paint).
- the course of the light beams inside the device 20 is represented by the beam path 6 .
- the light beams reflected by the participant 8 to be recorded fall through the second light passage 10 of the light-conducting Elements 19 in the device 20 a.
